A fastforward option would be nice as the balls tend to roll veeery long and slow."},{"author_name":"Qaterknan","author_uid":"11181","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:57pm","epoch":1367329920,"text":"The physics are good, but it is not really amusing to play this. I think it is because you don't get any response for success but the increase in the score and chances and there is no audio. It could be better after that, because the goal of the game is quite challenging."},{"author_name":"Ty Taylor","author_uid":"12454","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:42pm","epoch":1367332620,"text":"Simple, but difficult. I like that about this game, it really fits the theme in that way.

I know the game as billiard. As others said, the waiting should be improved and instant feedback (blinking balls, immediate increase of the score) would be nice."},{"author_name":"elbowroom","author_uid":"3590","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 8:52pm","epoch":1367441220,"text":"@Dining Philosopher, the name is indeed meaningful. Negia is a common word in the Hebrew bible. The meaning of the word Negia is "touch" or to come in contact with. The other word is taken from Hebrew and it means multiplied or more specifically "two". The goal in the game is to make the gray circle touch two other circles."},{"author_name":"GetFun","author_uid":"8548","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1367514840,"text":"1 point! =D"},{"author_name":"Foxtacy","author_uid":"12398","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 3:57am","epoch":1367553120,"text":"Hey\r\rAbout your comment on my entry: \rI've got this problem here too, i think i know how to fix it, i will do so on the next versions :)\r\rBtw! cool entry! :D i see that you posted it on newgrounds! i have an account there too :D\r\ri've recently remixed a track from Raptor (that old game from Apogee :D)\r\rhttp:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/audio\/listen\/532644\r\rYou can add me as a friend there if you want ^^"},{"author_name":"Foxtacy","author_uid":"12398","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 3:58am","epoch":1367553180,"text":"Now, about your entry.
